Enabling veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan to connect with one another

Those reached by our Veterans' Mental Health campaign have some of the most compelling stories to tell. Seeing one of our ads for IAVA was a turning point for Rey Leal, a veteran of the war in Iraq.

Rey came across one of our Veterans' Mental Health ads while spending another sleepless night watching TV. His initial reaction may have been cynicism, but he was curious enough to head to www.IAVA.org and to join the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America's online community, connecting to thousands of veterans facing similar challenges.
